Mapperton Weddings Full Description
Nestled in the rolling hills near Beaminster stands Mapperton House & Gardens, Dorset’s finest country wedding venue. Our venue is perfect for couples who are looking for a personalised approach to their wedding with plenty of wow factor as well as practical solutions for every element of your day. Wake up in the double-aspect master bedroom of Garden Cottage at Mapperton on the morning of your wedding in the Garden Cottage, knowing at the end of the party you’ll stroll back across the lawn hand in hand reflecting on a wonderful celebration. We have four beautiful outdoor ceremony locations and two indoor licensed areas, all with flexible styling options. After your exchange of vows, celebrate with drinks and canapes outside the chic vintage Orangery and enjoy far-reaching views through the gardens into the tumbling countryside beyond, a favourite spot for showstopping photos. Your guests will love wandering through the award-winning gardens and truly relax in the peaceful atmosphere at Mapperton. Lawn games welcome! As the afternoon lengthens lead your party over to our Coach House, where your Wedding Breakfast has space for up to 120 seated guests. This rustic barn has a modern, tonal feel as well as retaining heritage charm with original features. Banqueting tables and crossback chairs are included in your package although do hire round tables if preferred. We include a 9x12m marquee in our package and this is often set up beside the Coach House creating a mini fiesta feel to your evening party, especially with fire pits and festoon lights. There is additional space on the Croquet Lawn for a larger marquee reception. A Mapperton Weddings Co-ordinator will seamlessly oversee your day, allowing you to relax and enjoy every moment. Mapperton is an unsurpassable location for your country wedding. Visit Mapperton virtually or in-person to meet our friendly team and tell us more about your perfect wedding day.

A Perfect Day at Mapperton
We had what can only be described as a perfect day at Mapperton House & Gardens! From day one of getting in touch, wedding coordinator Kat was so responsive and flexible around arranging a viewing for us. As soon as we walked around the house, across the pavilion lawn, and were presented with the stunning sunken gardens, we knew it was the venue for us! The team were great with planning the day with us, and allowed us to visit as often as we needed in advance. We were even able to drop some decorations off in advance for storage as we were travelling some distance from home, something Kat and the wonderful bar manager Emma arranged for us the week of the wedding. The venue were so flexible around our requirements. We could choose from a number of different ceremony, confetti, reception and meal location options to tailor our day. We opted for a pavilion ceremony, confetti under the pergola, drinks by the orangery, speeches on the central garden steps, and a meal in the coach house. It flowed well, and made the most of the whole venue. We also had the marquee as extra outdoor space for guests in the evening who wanted a more quiet space away from the music. It was also lovely having the wedding cottage onsite as an option to get ready and stay in. It was great to just have a short walk to the ceremony area (and back to bed at the end of the evening!) I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mapperton to any couple who would like an outdoor option. It really was the perfect day for us, and we couldn’t fault the team at all.

Beautiful Wedding Venue
Absolutely perfect venue for a British country wedding. The team at Mapperton are all very friendly and quick to respond during the planning process, and on the day they were excellent. All of our guests absolutely loved the place, as did we. If you're looking for a venue for your wedding look no further!

The Perfect Venue!
Our wedding at Mapperton this July was everything we could have dreamed for and more. Not only are the grounds absolutely stunning (which our guests loved) but a huge part of why the day was so joyous and calm was down to the staff at Mapperton and many of their brilliant recommended suppliers. Kat was fantastic throughout our planning and on the day itself. She was incredibly responsive and helpful when it came to putting our day together and putting our mind at rest when scheming what our rain plan would look like if we needed one. Staying on site at the garden cottage was incredibly special. A tip for all future couples is to stay an extra night on the Sunday. By the Monday morning it was tough to leave but it is lovely to know that we can return to visit the gardens anytime and have anniversary stays in the cottage. Shout out to the bar staff who were good fun and ensured the evening party ran seamlessly! We can't thank Mapperton enough, we just wish we could do it all again!

Truest magical and stunning venue!
We visited so many venues as we are we’re so picky with a long list of things we wanted out of a venue for our special day. Mapperton ticked all of those boxes and more boxes that we didn’t even realise! They don’t need to sell this place, the gardens just speak for themselves of how stunning they are, the rustic barn and the stunning house backdrop. The mapperton team were amazing in answering all our questions, reassuring on our reservations and being so flexible from the start when we booked all the way up til the day before on 25th June 2022. they don’t see weddings as ‘just another wedding’ they really care and want to make it bespoke to you. All of the local suppliers were incredible and were so flexible too in what exactly we wanted. All of our guests were blown away by the venue. If you’re looking somewhere with the wow factor, that isn’t pretentious, that really doesn’t need much decoration and where your photographer will be so excited (like ours was) to take your photos there - this is the place!

Loved Every Moment!
Hard to know where to begin with praising this incredible venue and it’s team! Mapperton ticked all of our boxes and then had so many extra things that we didn’t even know we wanted but made the day perfect (the orangery for photos springs to mind!). The grounds are absolutely stunning and offer so many options for each bit of the day, and the Coach House has been so well thought through as a venue. Every single member of the team from the head gardener Susie, to the bar Manager Emma is dedicated and lovely, and the support from the wedding coordinator Kat is just amazing. Having Kat involved with developing our plans, communicating with our suppliers and running everything flawlessly on the day made sure that everything went entirely perfectly. Her “I’ve got this” manner and warmth shone throughout, and made an already brilliant venue the perfect package. The added bonus of being able to stay in the beautiful Garden Cottage on site before and after the day made things extra special. Mapperton offers something really extraordinary and we couldn’t recommend it more highly to others as the perfect venue for a celebration; we and our guests loved every moment of our time there.

Truly Special & Unique!
We chose Mapperton for our wedding in April of this year (2022) and had the most perfect day celebrating at this dreamy venue. The gardens look gorgeous in just about every season, but were particularly stunning for our Spring wedding. The blossom and flowers everywhere make a gorgeous backdrop and our guests were blown away with the venue and grounds. Mapperton has many options for personalisation, which is one of the reasons we selected the venue. We chose a chapel ceremony, afternoon marquee and evening dinner in the coach house. We were able to choose our celebrant, caterer and other suppliers, with a few recommendations provided for the local area. We loved this flexibility to create a truly personalised and bespoke celebration that reflected who we are as a couple. The Mapperton team are really friendly and professional and we felt like nothing was impossible to achieve with their help. Our whole experience with the team was seamless and on the day, our wedding co-ordinator Kat worked tirelessly behind the scenes keeping everything running smoothly. Our friends and family are still talking about our day and how stunning Mapperton was as a backdrop for a truly special and unique celebration. We cannot recommend this gem of a venue highly enough.
